Burlington spanish teacher allegedly contacts minor

UPDATED 8:07 PM EDT May 27, 2013

BURLINGTON, Vt. -

A Burlington teacher is accused of violating the conditions of her release.

Burlington police said in a press release Monday, they believe 44 year old Giovanna Yaranga "had contact with the victim in a previously reported/ongoing case in which she was charged with Sexual Exploitation of a Minor. A check showed there to be valid court ordered conditions of release in place forbidding Yaranga from contacting the juvenile victim. Follow-up investigation led to probable cause that Yaranga had violated the court conditions by contacting the victim."

Burlington Police said on May 27, 2013 Yaranga was taken into custody and held on lack of $750 bail.

The affidavit of probable cause will be on file with the Chittenden Superior Court Criminal Division Court Clerk following Yaranga's arraignment.
